VICKI PHILLIPS PHONE 652-3155VILLAGE OF MILO The regular meeting of the Village of Milo was held on Wednesday, November 11, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office. Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillor Monner and Municipal Administrator Lynda Cyr. The minutes of the meetings held on October 14, 28 and 29, 1992 were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. Council received a letter from the Town of Vulcan in regards to the sewer service line along with a copy of Vulcan's Policy - cleaning plugged sewers. Mayor Umscheid requested that Lynda Cyr ask Vulcan for a copy of Section IV (a) of the Town's Utility By-Law. The administrator from Arrowwood had called and said at the present they have no policy in regards to this matter. No word has been received from Lomond at this time. A letter is to be sent to Mr. Allan Petney with Alberta Environment saying that Council have met with Cicon Engineering — Mr. Ivan Chrapko of Vulcan — for four hours today, and he is going to do an investigative report concerning Milo's water system. He estimates this will take about three weeks. Council feelit is most imperative that our water treatment needs be determined and serious thought be given to this as government funding for projects of this type may be lowered. The letter from the Village of Carmangay in regards to the "mini-foamer" which is used for service lines that have problems caused by tree roots was read and discussed. A letter is to be sent asking how many are going to participate in this, and that the Village of Milo is interested but would like to know more. Council would also like to know if there are any other villages using this. By-Law #296 was presented to Council for reading. This By-Law authorizes the assessor to use the 1992 assessment and valuation of certain property as shown on the assessment roll of the municipality as the assessment or valuation of that property for 1993. Mayor Umscheid moved first reading. CARRIED. Councillor Monner moved second reading. CARRIED. Mayor Umscheid moved the By-Law be given a third and final reading at this meeting. CARRIED UNANIMOUS. Councillor Monner moved third reading of By-Law #296. CARRIED. Lynda Cyr informed Council that if an election is necessary it will be held one month after Nomination Day. Mayor Umscheid made a motion that the Returning Officer and Deputy be paid the same amount as the previous election rates. CARRIED. Council held a discussion in regards to salaries of Council and staff. It was decided to leave the councillors' and mayor's salary the same. Mayor Umscheid made a motion that new steps be built at the water treatment plant in the amount of $ 238.00 plus freight. CARRIED. Councillor Monner will be doing the work at no charge. Councillor Monner requested Lynda Cyr to present Council with a statement for the end of the year showing how much money the Village actually has after all bills are paid for 1992.Mayor Umscheid made a motion that the Village hire Glen McCallum to do some general cleaning in the Village with his backhoe. CARRIED. Mayor Umscheid and Councillor Monner will be meeting with the Seed Plant Committee to discuss the hook-up fee with the Village's water. Lynda Cyr is to check and see if there is any agreement between the Village and the owner of the land where the dump is. Mayor Umscheid will be attending a Recreation Board Meeting on Nov. 19 and will report back to Council. The meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m. The special meeting of the Village of Milo was held on Monday, November 23, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office. Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillors Monner and Hingley and Municipal Administrator Lynda Cyr. Mr Gordon Vooys also attended. The minutes of the meeting held on November 11, 1992 were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. Councillor Michael Hingley was officially sworn in and signed his Official Oath of Office papers. Council then held the Organizational Meeting. This adjourned at 7:30 p. Council met with Mr. Gordon Vooys from the Water Co-Op for the annual meeting to discuss the co-op's share of the power bill from the pump house and the administration fee. Mr. Vooys and Council read the meters and the actual meter reading for the Village is 49,469,000 and the actual meter reading for the Co-Op is 86,396,200. The Village used 12,370,100 gallons of water and the Co-Op used 17,156,100 gallons of water the past year. This is a total of 29,526,200 gallons. The co-op used 58% of the toal gallons of water from December 1, 1991 to November 23, 1992. The total bill from Trans Alta, is $ 2,329.94. Therefore, 58.1% of $ 2,329.94 equal $ 1,353.69. From the total of $ 1,353.69 I deducted $ 77.35 which is 57% for G.S.T. and this gives a balance of $ 1,276.34 for power plus $ 360.00 for administration fees giving a grand total of $ 1,636.34. Mr. Vooys presented Council with a cheque in this amount. The letter from the Chinook Arch Regional Library System was read and discussed. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Council for the Village of Milo approve the amended Schedule B of the Chinook Arch Regional Library System Agreement, as outlined in the CARL Board Resolution of May 14, 1992. CARRIED. Mayor Umscheid made a motion that the Village of Milo offer residential lots at 20% off the current price from December 1, 1992 until June 1, 1993. CARRIED. The Village has been notified that the students union will be painting the local businesses windows for Christmas as they did last year. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village let the students paint the Village office windows this year, and that the Village give them a cheque in the of $ 25.00 as a donation. CARRIED. Mayor Umscheid wants Lynda Cyr to check with A.U.M.A. to see what coverage the Village has as far as insurance goes for the Council, Firemen, Administrator, etc. This will^yrU be discussed at the December meeting. Mayor Umscheid gave a report of the Rec. Board'meeting which was held on November 19, 1992. In the past the Rec. Board has handled their money but it has been brought to their attention this is not the way the original agreement states. The Village of Milo has to be accountable for any money the Rec. Board has and administer the same. Lynda Cyr is to set up an account in the name of the Village of Milo Recreation Fund and will have signing authority with Lome Umscheid. It was noted that the Recreation Board currently has approximately $ 33,000.00. A letter is to be sent to Mr. Roy Archibald in Lethbridge requesting a project change on the 1990 CRC grant to change the money from the planning project of the feasibility study for an interpretive centre to the capitol project to purchase equipment for the Milo Library. The project description will be to purchase a computer and CD Rom equipment. This will include $ 2,144 for the base grant and $ 856 in the amount of matching funds. Mayor Umscheid said Don Sparrow has stated that there will not be any more CRC grants. The only money available for recreation will be from the lotteries fund. The Village can apply for this but it is only to be used for capitol projects. He cautioned that if you build something, you have to be prepared to have the funds to keep it going. Mayor Umscheid also said it has been brought to the attention of the Recreation Board that the current Master Plan has to be reviewed, and they are in the process of doing this. A letter was received from Mr. Doug Bushell, Secretary for the Milo & District Rec. Board with a list of the members for the coming year: Chairman - Lome Umscheid Secretary - Doug Bushell - Joanne Wilson - Carol Roberson - Gordon Vooys - Ken Fetkenher - Grant Lahd - Village Councillor - Rural - Village - Village - Rural - Rural - County Councillor Doug also sent a letter saying that the money from the 1991 CRC Grant that was to be used for the purchase of Junior Curling Rocks has been spent and substantiated by an accompanying copy of the invoice. Councillor Monner presented a letter to COuncil that he would like to put in the Can Opener to keep the Village residents aware of how the Village is being run and current problems and projects. Council were in favor of this. They also discussed the possibility of buying some trees to plant in the coming year in the Village. Councillor Hingley said he would price some trees for the next meeting. Two letters of application for the town man job have been received. Council discussed this as there are two other possible people who are interested in the position. A discussion followed in regards to the job description and salary. The meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m.On December 14, 1992, The First Milo Brownies hosted a Revel at which 52 Brownies, Guides and Guiders attended. The event was held at the Milo Ice Arena and the weather cooperated, allowing us to have a bonfire outside the arena. Skating was enjoyed as well as making some Christmas crafts. Weiners roasted over the fire made a welcome supper and a lively singsong of carols and favorite camp songs concluded the evening. Girls and leaders from Vulcan and Champion enjoyed the get-together. It was unfortunate that the groups from Arrowwood and Carmangay were unable to attend. A Revel is an excellent way for girls to get to know other girls in the Guiding movement. Our Area, The Prairie Rose Area, celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 1992, and the Revel was a fitting close to our special year. Special thanks to Warren and Penny Heather for the use of their fire ring and especially to Pat Gauthier for doing so much extra work trying to get the ice in good condition for us. The girls got in a little Christmas carolling around town at their last meeting. They had a little party and exchanged gifts. We are happy to report that we have sent off 430 Campbells soup labels to our 'Labels For Education' project. Thank you to all who collect labels for us. And also thank you to those who sent in their old Christmas cards. We put them,bo good use. We will now be busy right up to Valentines Day, making crafts for the school tea- An exciting outing for us will be a trip to Calgary in mid January to see the Ice BEST WISHES to Juanita Crabb who celebrated her 80th birthday Dec. 29th at the Drop_TIn Centre. Seventee friends and relatives attended. Rene made the birthday cake. Joyce Deans niece of Juanita's and husband, Jack also attended.

Kevin will work on a 3/4 time basis and get his water treatment plant certification, once he has completed his job building the new seed cleaning plant which is scheduled for about Feb 1. Until then he will work on a part time basis. He will also be continuing his mechanical repair business during his spare time, and we encourage you to give Kevin a call if you need the assistance of a licensed mechanic. Thank you to all the other people who applied for the position. It has finally been determined that the County of Vulcan owns the dump site, and have since 1929. And in return for them digging the pits over the years, the village has agreed to fence off the site in the spring and man the pit on a 1 half or 2 half day a week basis. Cost of the fence and gate should only be about $700.00 using steel posts. If this is not done, the site will fill up quickly as it is the last site in the county which is not controlled and people from all over are using it. We are probably down to our last pit site at the dump as are most dumps in the county, therefore control is very important. Eventually, we will be part of a new "push pit" system, where garbage will be unloaded locally into a "controlled building", then hauled to a certified landfill site. Once this is in place, the old site will have to be reclaimed, either by the County or Alta Environment. The school is putting together a recyling project, which will involve different recyling bins mounted on a low profile trailer. Grant money has been secured for the project to purchase the trailer. The school kids will look after the maintenance of the area around the trailer and the town is willing to cooperate with providing a suitable empty lot and perhaps some labour also. We applaud this worthwhile initiative. Council is looking at developing a 5-10 year master plan to determine what services the village should provide for tax payers, the rate of implementation, what level of reserve money should be maintained and what level of long term debt for capital projects is acceptable for a village of our size. The Urban Municpality Dept, says that of our yearly revenue ($150,000.00), we should keep 25% or $37,500.00 in reserve. We are at a 75% level currently. We think that more than 25% makes good sense; but how much? How much should the tax payer of today pay for the free ride of taxpayers or new residents of tomorrow? In other words, should we keep pouring large amounts of your tax money into straight reserve or should the residents be recieving services for their tax money now. This may also mean putting funds into separate accounts for future larger capital projects. We welcome your opinions. We are installing aerators into the lagoons to try and improve the water quality as they do in most other towns. We will also start our preliminary budgeting process in November and have it ready for the new year rather than April. This should help us monitor our expenditures thru out the whole year and make adjustments easier. Lynda will have "year to date" accounting done every month to facilitate the process.

Convention in Calgary, Dennis Cyr, agent at the Milo Wheat Pool elevator, is pictured here being congratulated by President Ray Schmidt for 25 years of service with the Alberta Wheat Poo/ . Congratulations to from you/ To Milo and area residents: I am writing this letter as a result of the November 12 meeting at the Milo School regarding the future of education in our county. I left this meeting very disturbed. The purpose of the meeting as I saw it, was to discuss the problem of decreased funding to the school system and what we as a county can do to work through the problem. This is a very important issue that all parents and taxpayers should be concerned about. Please show up at the next meeting to express your ideas. From some of the comments I heard at the meeting I felt that some individuals were placing blame on the teachers. This is not a situation where placing blame on any party is going to help nor does it foster positive feelings within the community. I think that we should be reminded that we as concerned parents, teachers, etc. have to work together to come up with a suitable solution. Also, I think that parents should be reminded that you seem to be placing more emphasis on saving money that being concerned with quality education for your children. Has anyone bothered to ask how much would my taxes go up if we were to maintain the current level of education? Pehaps it is time that we reevaluate our priorities. What is more important: our children or money? I would also like to remind you, that teachers are not the enemy. Teachers are on your side. They want your child to have the best education possible. Isn’t that what you want? qp V Heather Lahd substitute teacher concerned about children Adult Sewing Classes I will be offering sewing classes again this winter beginning in the new year. We will meet in the Lutheran Church basement once a week for twelve weeks. The classes will go from 7p.m. to 10p.m. I would like to! accomodate the majority of interested sewers, and therefore I am suggesting that you pre-register as soon as possible; call 599-2219. Adult classes will either be Monday or Wednesday evenings depending on the preference of the majority. Kathy VooysOLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS A true Northern experience, yes, Christmas ina log cabin in the wilds of the Yukon. On Dec. 18 Jean and I left Calgary for Whitehorse. Fortunately we got right through from Vancouver to Whitehorse or we may have been stranded in the Vancouver snowstorm. On arriving in Whitehorse we were met by Jean's boys, Blaine, Brent, and Mary, Blaine's girlfriend,and then started arrangements for Christmas . Blaine and Jean went shopping for our Christmas turkey,and a weeks supply of groceries, while Brent and I worked on a snowmobile. It was Dec. 21st when all was ready. Brent, Blaine and I loaded 13 dogs, 2 sleds and a snowmobile along with what provisions and clothes we could carry for our rendevous in the woods . The temperature was -32 deg. when we left town for our 70 mile drive to Squanga Lake, our starting point. At 12:30 P.M. the dogs were hitched up, the sleighs were loaded, the snowmobile and skimmer as well. (At lower temperatures like this, the snow crystalizes, making it abrasive to the dogs feet. It is then necessary to put booties on the dogs, secured with velcro straps. The dogs really don't care for the booties, but it saves a lot of sore feet). The sensation of skimming through the snow at such a fast pace, with no sounds whatever is hard to visualize. We followed a series of lakes, Squanga, Little Squanga, Jackfish,, a few smaller ones and then on to McClintock 25 miles later where the cabin is located. This area is a natives registered trapline, so our trip took us by two of his cabins enroute in, and a third cabin is 1/2 mile from Blaine's cabin. Blaine also has a fishing permit to net 150 kilogram of a smaller type whitefish for dog food. The trip is so peaceful and quiet except going between lakes, the sharp hills where you jump off and push, and then riding the brakes down steep incline, adds to the excitement. The dogs natural instinct is to run faster and harder in the woods as they get bored with the straight lake runs, so they really keep you on your toes, dodging trees and keeping the sleigh upright on sharp turns. Apart from a few mishaps with the snowmobile and sleigh, we were at the cabin by 7 P.M. to start fires, haul water and wood, and get settled in. The temperature dropped to -40. The morning of December 24th Jean and Mary flew in, in a Cessna 205 on skis with the rest of the supplies. As it was -36 below the pilot would'nt stop for coffee, so our Christmas preparations began. We all walked the lakeshore for that perfect%r%?id while the women decorated it, I got out of work’ by going fishing (no fish). Christmas day arrives cold and clear. After a hearty breakfast of cranberry pancakes (locally found) and bacon, - we opened our gifts and prepared for the turkey feast at 4 P.M. The sun rises at 10:30 a.m. and sets at 4:30 p.m., so our days are kept busy chopping wood, carrying water, feeding dogs, etc. Yes the biffy is a 150 feet from the cabin with no door, but a piece of styrofoam makes a cozy seat cover. They even had reading material in there, but I didn't read long. Our evenings were occupied with lots of reading and playing cards. The lifestyle up here is more relaxed and peaceful. Even though the temperature stayed at the -35 mark, we always went outside for work or pleasure. I fished everyday. Jean and I went cross country skiing on the lake, so the dry cold never really felt that bad. The day the plane came to take Jean, Mary and I out (Sunday 27th), the cabin thermometer registered -45, but the plane arrived on time. Brent & Blaine were staying a few more days and then running the dogs back out. Yes a real old fashioned Christmas, and Yes I'll do it again. Contributed by: Larry UmscheidThe Milo Brownies hosted a very successful Revel on December 14th, with 52 girls and leaders in attendance. Guides, Guiders and Brownies from Champion, Vulcan and Milo had a great time skating at the arena, fashioning Christmas crafts, roasting weiners over a campfire and singing carols. A very fitting close to the 20th Anniversary _-of Guiding in our Area, Prairie Rose. We were-very sorry that the Arrowwood Guides and Brownies as well as the Carmangay Brownies could not attend the Revel.

SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE In southern Alberta 2 generations of the Deitz family - that includes 4 brothers and their 6 sons - have a split between machinery they own together, and machinery that belongs to each farm. They joke sometimes it's good that blood is thicker than water, but family members usually end each season satisfied with a year's work done efficiently and econimically. Years ago, the senior Deitz brothers - Bob, Dave, Bill and Don agreed to share ownership of some field equipment. They each took part ownership in two 285-hp 4WD tractors, and 2 SP Massey 860 combines. Together, the family crops some 7000 acres in about a 12-mile radius near Milo, Alta. Aside from the joint ownership, each brother and his sons own an extensive line of short-line equipment. "Amongst us we have a 40-, a 35-, and a 28-foot drill," explains Bob's son Keith Deitz. Also in the family is a round baler, square baler, bale wagon, and Hesston stacker. And the list goes on. Everybody uses the machinery as if it were their own. There are no formal meetings or complicated scheduling. They plant by crop and combine as each crop ready. There never seems to be a problem of someone feeling their last," says Deitz. "You make a point of moving around so everyone has a chance." Day to day maintenance and repairs are absorbed by each farm. Major repairs on jointly-owned equipment are shared.421-lst Street West HIGH RIVER, At ANb MEN Itetrb-Gnktoyn Afayef 108 Mm Paft-ntal jCuidanie All M>y Attend THURtoTUE JAN 7-8-9-10-11-12 7’30 pm The biggest thing to hit Japan sincfc Godzilla TOM SELLECK irt Wn EW. nt«jt C.uKJan<v' A'* f>Uy At tend 106 Min THURtoTUE JAN 14-15-16-17-18-19 7:30 pm P U i ry George strait Bright lights.

As most of you are aware most of your council activities seem to be around the school board. However there a few things I can mention municipally. It appears there will be no increase in our tax on the municipal side as your county council has decided to take a fair bit of money from our reserve accounts. The County of Vulcan is one of the few municipal districts that have no debt. This is a very important point, as we can use all*our tax dollar to supply service to our ratepayers. Council and administration has received a lot of criticism over our reservess, but I think they are a very important asset. You can see the result of our spending in our provincial and federal government. It's amazing how they have both suddenly discovered the error of their ways. Unfortunately all of us will now pay the price. The County of Vulcan can cope with some provincial cutbacks municipally, because of our reserves. It seems to me we can cut back on our day to day expenses. For example do we need our roads plowed out the very next day after a storm? Do we need all of our roads gravelled every 2 or 3 years. I received many calls this past summer over gravel or lack of it. Can we afford to keep all of these gravel roads in top condition? I can see some of you smiling now. But I travel around Alberta a fair bit, and let me tell you some of the roads we have hauled cattle over would be considered impossible to drive on if they were in the county. Many of the roads have 20 ft. tops, very sharp corners, narrow bridges, blind corners and so on. The residents say they can't afford to build better ones, and that these are better than they used to have. Where do you draw the line? What can we afford and what do we really need? This county seems to have a good supply of 4x4 vehicles, yet people still say the roads are terrible and they can't get to town. I think we are all going to have to do more for ourselves and ask our government for less. You usually get what you pay for but you also have to pay for what you get when it comes to municipal government. As your local county councillor I feel I will have to make many decisions over the next 3 years that are going to be unpopular with many of our taxpayers. If they are unacceptable to the majority of you there will be a day to get even in 1995. We have enjoyed a "Cadillac" type of service over the last few years, compared to many other districts. Because of past fiscal responsibility the county has been able to supply these services and still maintain taxes at an acceptable level. Because of lower farm income this acceptable level now seems high. I feel it will be up to me as your local councillor to keep our mill rate where it is, even if this means less service to ratepayers. There are many major changes in our health care system that are going to alter our health units as we now know them. The new councillor Wayne Davies has been on these committees for several years and is very up to date on what is happening. It appears one change will be in the hospital administration. This will be done on a more regional basis. This will eliminate high priced local administration as one cost cutting measure. Many more changes are still in the planning stage. I don't think the change in health minister will change anything as I feel the department beaurocrats run the thing anyway. Once we get used to the new system I think we will have to agree it is an improvement considering the cost of our present system. Happy New Year to one and all in Division 7 - Grant Lahd On April 1, 1957 the BBC aired a film about a spaghetti harvest in Switzerland. Richard Dimbleby, a respected commentator, narrated the film and provided viewers with a serious explanation of how an early spring had produced a bumper spaghetti harvest. Swiss peasants were seen gathering spaghetti from the trees in their village orchards. The following day, the BBC received hundreds of calls from viewers, none of whom complained about the hoax, instead they wanted to know where they could buy the spaghetti plants.MARG AND CARL JOHNSON OF MDLO AND OBJECT OF THEIR ATTENTION SUNDAY NIGHT LOCAL COUPLE ATTACKED BY OWL At 6:30 p.m. Fferj was at the side of her house whai suddenly "scrtething knocked me flat".

'\ MILO LIBRARY Notes from the librarian: SERVICE: This is the most common word that I see in any j aspect of library operations (courses I take, library policies and by-laws, the government regulations by which we operate, etc.). In short, our job is to find out what you want, and to do our best to offer it. Small libraries such as ours have been quite limited in what they could offer because it was so hard to stretch dollars far enough. The number of people served was too small. Now, thanks to modern technology, all that is beginning to change. When Chinook Arch Library System becomes fully operational, we will be able to browse (via computer) through materials found in over 20 libraries in southern Alberta, reserve these items, and have them delivered right to Milo on a weekly delivery van. The range of reading and information interests in our area is as varied as anywhere, so Chinook Arch services will translate to a very large increase in our ability to meet these needs. In the next year, we are finally going to see more and more Chinook Arch services begin, and input from patrons of all ages on ways we can help serve you is most appreciated. (Suggest titles, subjects, special programs you would like to see, changes in hours??, etc.) VOLUNTEERS Volunteers account for a large part of our library. I would like to extend my thanks to Library Board members and other volunteers who have worked in the library (this includes several very enthusiastic children). .Barb Godkin, Librarian LIBRARY HOURS: Tuesdays 9:00am-11:30am Thursdays 9:30am-12:30pm 1:30pm- 5:00pm PHONE 599-3850 TRIVIA® J&N A quiz from Henry & ttalo hosts of the Canadian Sportfishing Show QUESTION: A “bonofisfr” is a. seriously undernourished b. a member of the sturgeon family c. a fast, elusive saltwater fish Brought to you by: VULCAN UNTY OLLISION Phone 485-6079 Fax 485-6040 See us for the right answers on collision and paint repairs.

Work schedules have been sent out to members for maintaining the ice. Anyone unable to work during their week please find your own replacement. Any new memberships received, will be added to the list Thank you for helping maintain the ice, it is greatly appreciated. Clarification on the dues. Since the rink has now gone to yearly use, memberships are from NOv. 1 - Oct. 31. therefore the membership fees are due Nov. 1st for each year if you want to use the rink. Since the Ice Committee is under the Ag.

T. Bateman My Dad provided us with a lot of entertainment, however sometimes it was not prudent to laugh. Dad was a cowboy turned farmer. He had worked on large ranches and established something of a reputation as a man who could handle horses, the consequence of this kind of reputation was the neighbors brought their problem horses to our place. Dad was expected to lead these problem horses through various therapeutic sessions that would result in some form of behavior modification. I observed his technique and it was not pretty. His horse psychology book only had one page. His technique, if used today, would provide wonderful opportunity for animal rights advocates to make television commercials. I won't comment further regarding the behavior changing therapy except to say, the evaluations of the sessions was fairly basic. If the animal in question didn't behave as expected, he would probably end up attracting coyotes into gun range in yet another element of our overall survival strategy. About the end of the second world war my Dad bought a tractor. He was 40 years of age and his habits and reflexes were well entrenched. The entertainment episodes occurred with some regularity but with no lead in or introduction. You had to be in the right place. Dad was very surprised and confused when he discovered that our tractor had a different personality than our horses. When he drove the tractor in the marsh he was always shouting directions even before the front wheels got wet. The excitement of the moment always caused that part of his mind reserved for disengaging clutches to seize up and he would resort to hollering whoa! whoa! using "whoas!" that grew in intensity, frequency and decibels as the tractor sunk in the slough goo. Usually, after the tractor was completely stopped he would remember it had a clutch and would then disengage it. The next step would require about eight horses, all in harness and attached in tandem to whatever part of the tractor was sticking out of the swamp. Horses would respond to the same hollering which the tractor chose to ignore. The tractor would be extracted from the marsh by the horses complete with Dad's philosophy, thereby demonstrating the superiority of his lifelong commitment to using horses over these new fangled tractors that "couldn't be taught nothing". I have spent the last 35 years in places where we could access the arts whenever we wished. I enjoy the^. symphony and occasionally a dinner theatre. I love our church choir and their special presentations. In retrospect, however, I realize the value of my childhood years on our homestead. Nature, just as God created it, provided a never ending drama. Wind, weather and especially wildlife, entertained and educated us. What a privilege it is to reflect on those years and to remember our marsh and the sounds and smells and sights that were forever changing just for me. Queenstown Seed Cleaning Plant (construction update) Due to the extreme cold the construction is shut down. The Dust Collection System and electrical work is about half done. The Wind and Screen machine and the Seed Treater will be moved from the old Queenstown plant in the near future. Then only a few smaller items will have to be moved. February 1 is the date set for the new plant to start operating and as reported by plant manager, Ed Posein, they will be ready to go then. Everything is coming along as scheduled.Flowers ’n Fancies! n TER ROOM FLORRL DESIGNS GIFTS JEWELLERY Planning a Wedding?

MILO UCW ANNUAL REPORT Our group of 6 to 9 ladies-eontinue to hold meetings on a regular basis. We continue to support the Church Board, the Sunday School and our foster child in India. We also take our turn serving Lions’ supper during the year. During March we helped with a birthday party at Extendacare honoring Jessie Umscheid on her 92 birthday. Also we helped serve at a 40 th anniversary party for Lloyd and Betty Armstrong, The Turkey supper was a big success and we thank all our helpers and the community for their support. We had a much smaller bazaar this year but it was also a successful day. We express appreciation to the ladies of our group, Helen, Margaret and Lil who took a service for Don while he was attending conference. Due to water leaking in our basement it was necessary on several occasions to clean up. This was done by very few people. Later when the floor was dry the ladies gathered to clean and paint the basement which made a big improvement. Thank you for all the work done. In September we served dinner to the folks from Extendacare and Peter Dawson Lodge. Neil Northcott and Leo Gooch entertained with some favorite music. Thank you Neil and Leo. It was an enjoyable day for all present. On two occasions during the year we made donations to S.T.A.R.S. totalling $400.00. We supported the Food Bank with a $200.00 donation for turkeys to F.C.S.S.
